about_jumpcloud.sysprep SHORT DESCRIPTION Containst the Get-JCSysprep command which creates a unique JCSysprep.exe application. LONG DESCRIPTION The Get-JCSysprep command connects to the JumpCloud API using a JumpCloud administrator API key and creates a unique JCSysprep application '.exe' package locally which contains the authenticated JumpCloud administrators system 'connect key'. This 'connect key' is used by the application and allows for the silent installation of the JumpCloud agent. The output of this command, the JumpCloud Sysprep (System Preparation) application (JCSysprep.exe), prepares a Windows machine for installation of the JumpCloud agent. With the JCSysprep application administrators can update the usernames of existing local user accounts to match the usernames of the corresponding JumpCloud user accounts. Using the JCSysprep application to update and match the local account usernames to the naming convention of the JumpCloud usernames will ensure that local account takeover occurs on JumpCloud managed systems when user to system associations are made within the JumpCloud admin console. Account name updates with the application can be made before or after JumpCloud agent installation but must be made prior to any user to system associations within the JumpCloud admin console where there is a mismatch between the JumpCloud username and the local account username. Administrators can also use the JCSysprep application to rename the hostnames of target machines and install or uninstall the JumpCloud agent.
